    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-14080?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12776434#comment-12776434 ] 

Konstantin Marmalyukov commented on JBIDE-14080:
------------------------------------------------

I think combination of points A anb B will be good enough(and should be done on Beta2).
Point C also can be added(maybe not on Beta2).
Point D IMHO sounds bad. As a user I don't want to have any additional dialogs on such simple action. As a variant about copying path to clipboard we can add one more menu point, selecting which screenshot will be saved and its path will be copied to clipboard.

Max, WDYT?

> As a first time user of browserim clicking Screenshot > Save looks like it does nothing.
> As it turns out it is actually saving funky timestamped .png's into my home folder.
> I think that is a bad default behavior.
> Here is my suggestion:
> A) prefix the file with browsersim- (making it easier to find)
> B) use a ISO date format instead of the current mix of _'s and -'s. i.e. 2013-04-17-103221.png or just 20130417103221.png
> C) if user have not set preferences (i.e. blank field) ask the user on his first Save > to specify which folder to save to.
> D) on Screenshot > Save show dialog stating the full path of the save file in a way that makes it possible to copy/paste the path (maybe even copy/paste it to the clipboard). 
> Option D could be made more smooth/better by having something like:
> Title: Screenshot saved
> Text: Screenshot saved to [filename].
>  [ ] Copy path to clipboard
>  [ ] Do this always and do not show this again
>   [Ok] [Cancel]
> And as usual have a "reset dialog settings" in preferences to reset this.
> Then on first users they are informed about where the file is saved and can get to it instantly - and experienced users can just dismiss this dialog and have the action they want every time.
